Samode Haveli

Jaipur old city

A nineteenth-century mansion hidden in the old city.

The place

The Samode family's town house, tucked behind a gate in the old city — courtyards, terraces, gardens and a painted dining room that stops people in the doorway. Larger than it feels, because it is arranged as a series of separate spaces rather than corridors.

What is there

  • Courtyards, terraces and gardens
  • The painted Sheesh Mahal dining room
  • Pool
  • Inside the old city walls
  • Spa
  • Pairs with Samode Palace an hour away
